Comeuppance is a dish best served SIZZLING

Happy Independence Day!

I say 'Independence Day' because 'The 4th of July' is the lamest name for a holiday. Ever. Usually the 4th is pretty boring, consisting of rain, obnoxious parades, more rain, and baseball. However, yesterday was actually oodles of fun. It did start out with an obnoxious parade, consisting of a hundred blaring, wailing firetrucks and people not throwing candy at us because we're teenagers. Then I hung out at Mathilda's for a while, except we were sort of bored, so we texted everyone we knew to get their butts over there--but Natalie is the only one who actually came, which was still fun. We rode down the driveway in Dora-the-Explora tricycles and talked about leprechauns. Then we drove up (in a car, not a tricycle) the winding roads to the top of the hill where everyone's house is more like a palace, and for every palace, there's three 'elite' country clubs. Except on one of these 'elite' country clubs for 'elite' people with 'elite' houses, they were having some not-so-elite fireworks. It was beautiful up there (see above) and we ran amok barefoot around the soft turf, rolling down hills and jumping in sand pits. Golf courses are so much fun except for the golf part. And the fireworks were spectacular (see below).

So right after my last post, the one where I complained about how bored I was and how much I hated Hamlet, I slept over at Mathilda's house with Joanna which was super fun. We lit things on fire and ran around screaming (screaming, running, and fire has been the theme of the week) and then watched The Simpson's Movie (yet again). Afterward, we ran around claiming we'd get comeuppance (I thought it was spelled kummuppets!) on each other. This comuppance consisted of smashing a dead wasp all over each other's belongings. It was most disgusting. The next night I went to the mall with Mathilda, and I spent more money on a smoothie than a shirt. I also got Joanna an AWESOME birthday present, buuut it's staying a secret!

Also, I had a slight revalation, and now I'm super excited about being in Hamlet! Auditions are Thursday and I am doing a monologue from Twelfth Night. Woo-hoo! It's going to be a very interesting play, I think.

I'm glad you enjoyed your Independence Day :), friends always make things fun! Oh, those parade jerks.. I hate when they bypass the teenagers.. It's like "HEY, we're kids too!" Hahah. Oh well. Dora the Explorer tricyles?! You guys know how to be fly ;), ahaha. You should've gotten a picture of that. Nice fireworks. I'm glad you're dreading the Hamlet speal less now. I hope you wind up enjoying it :), 3 weeks of summer is alot to be unhappy with, haha. You're a theater girl, you'll find a way to work with it! ♥ Olive

mastermind behind the mania

Annie's (very abridged) week.... (June. 29. 09)

Redid the layout thingy because I was bored. Now it's all cerulean and woosh. I survived the dentist! Huzzah! I am now obsessed with Next to Normal, it's a new musical. I spent an hour tonight spying on our new neighbors. I must resemble a box of tissues, because my friend just randomly gushing all his problems to me, got pissed, started swearing, and then I think he insulted me but I had to look it up on UrbanDictionary to be sure, and then made me promise to forget what he said. But he speaks in such a cryptic toungue that I had no idea what he was saying anyway. People are so complicated. Oh, and my mom got a Facebook. My life is over.
